Cutting and fitting done by me. All welding done by Rob at Flipside and Matt at Speedware Motorsports.

As far as the diverter goes, I just set it up like the OEM's do.

I am going to finish bead blasting the pipes and decide on a finish down the road. I may do black wrinkle for an OEM look.

Tim, The canister is just an Ebay special from some company that sells a 3" turbo back exhaust for $399 shipped for WRX's. I'll be honest.....the car sounds great for a Subie.

Yup. Piping, strut bar, intake manifold and a few other things are "Sparco Harness bar grey"

Other stuff is "Sparco Seat Bracket Black"

Wow, lookin' pretty bad *** thus far. Love it with the 5-lug and Porsche wheels! Not really feeling that style exhaust for a Euro car, but everything else is top shelf.

Very nice setup!

Heres a video of a local guy and his street car.. lol.. well, not so much a street car but it does make its way to the street every now and then.

And another local turbo vdub.



Keep up the good work! Cant wait for dyno graphs and videos

as for being weird, i think pretty much everything else is weird because they are what i cut my teeth on. you wanna talk weird, go look at an old saab

and props for the build. when i get rid of my car i'm probably going to have some serious withdrawal issues.
